At the end of the day, they could tell you you're out of luck because you modified the original skates - therefore voiding any warranty they offer. I'd be careful of your wording if you reached out to TRUE regarding this. Imo I think the mounting of the r1 chassis is what caused it. Where the toe cap is glued/flush with the bottom of the boot is more or less where the crack started. Here's a close up showing the area I'm referring to where the diagonal pattern meets the toe cap. Both boots and both sides of the toe cap is like this. It's hard plastic, but you can push it and make it flex a bit if you try. The original photo might not show this, and I'm not sure how the toe cap/boot is on pre-TF9 True skates, but there is a slight gap between the boot and the toe cap. Perhaps I'll contact them first so it's documented and then drill a hole. I understand the idea of drilling a hole to try and stop a potential spread of the crack, but I'd be weary to do that in case this becomes a problem and I have to file a warranty claim with True. I was just surprised by this the first game out. They're hockey skates so they're going to get beat up. I suppose 'concerned' may not have been the right word choice. Wasn't sure if this should go in the True skate thread or on it's own so feel free to move if necessary. We are a skater-owned company based in San Diego, California since 2013. Has anyone else experienced this? I'll keep an eye on it to see if it gets worse, but should this be a concern?

The crack is just at this edge it does not extend past that circular branding stamp or the rivet. I suppose it could have been from an impact of puck or something, but that seems pretty crazy for brand new skates. This isn't present on the other boot or other side of the toe cap. When I got home and took them out of my bag I happen to notice a crack on the bottom edge of the toe cap. Yesterday I played my first game in them and had zero complaints. Up until yesterday I had skated in them for an hour and a half or so mostly casual skating while stickhandling just to get comfortable and see how they feel. They were purchased and converted from a reputable local shop that has been a True dealer for years and done tons of Marsblade conversions. I recently picked up a pair of TF9 skates and had Marsblade R1's installed.
